McKinnon Board Counsel (iv) Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Background On 12 November 1996 Federated Pipe Lines (Northern) Ltd. ("Federated Northern", "the Applicant" or "the Company") applied, pursuant to section 52 of the National Energy Board Act ("the Act"), for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity ("Certificate") to construct an oil pipeline from Taylor, British Columbia ("B.C.") to Belloy, Alberta. At Taylor the applied-for pipeline would connect to oil and natural gas liquid ("NGL") facilities of Federated Pipe Lines (Western) Ltd. ("Federated Western"), Morrison Petroleums Ltd. ("Morrison") and Solex Gas Liquids Ltd. ("Solex"). At Belloy, the applied-for pipeline will connect to a pipeline proposed by Federated Pipe Lines Ltd. ("FPL") and recently approved by the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board ("AEUB"). The applied-for pipeline is illustrated in Figure 1-1. The applied-for facilities consist of 171.7 kilometres of 273.1 mm outside diameter pipeline, interconnecting pipelines and pumping and metering facilities at Taylor, an intermediate pumping station near Bonanza, Alberta, a truck delivery terminal near Spirit River, Alberta and metering facilities at the Belloy junction. The facilities are designed to transport, in batch mode, up to 8250 m3/day of crude oil and NGL from receipt points at Taylor and Spirit River to the Belloy junction. From this point, the oil and NGL will be transported on the proposed FPL pipeline to existing facilities of FPL near Judy Creek, Alberta which will provide transportation to NGL storage, fractionation and marketing facilities at Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta and to crude oil storage and marketing facilities at Edmonton, Alberta. The Board issued Hearing Order and Directions on Procedure OH-3-96 on 17 December 1996 which set Federated Northern’s application down for an oral public hearing. The hearing was held in Calgary on February 24 -27, 1997. Figure 1-1 illustrates two other proposed pipeline projects competing for supply in the Taylor area and proposing pipeline transportation to the Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan areas. The proposal of Novagas Clearinghouse Ltd. ("NCL") and Novagas Clearinghouse Pipelines Ltd. ("NCPL") would source NGL at Taylor and various points in Alberta and would transport these liquids to NCL’s storage and proposed fractionation facility near Redwater, Alberta. The intra-Alberta portion of the pipeline project were recently approved by the AEUB. The other pipeline proposal is a joint project of Peace Pipe Line Ltd. ("Peace"), Pouce Coupé Pipe Line Ltd. ("Pouce Coupé") and Morrison. Peace operates a crude oil and NGL transmission system which provides transportation from points in northwestern Alberta to Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan. Peace recently obtained AEUB approval to loop a portion of its system which will provide additional crude oil and NGL capacity. Pouce Coupé, a subsidiary of Peace, owns an interprovincial oil line running from Dawson Creek, B.C. to a point of connection with the Peace system near Gordondale, Alberta. Morrison proposes to build a pipeline from Taylor to connect with the Pouce Coupé pipeline at Dawson Creek. OH-3-96 1 The proponents of these
